It took more than seven hours for the roughly 150-foot Boeing 727 cargo jet to be transported from Anchorage to Big Lake, where it will be converted into living quarters for flight students and Airbnb guests.
A Boeing 727 cargo jet embarked on a final journey Thursday night — this time, not in the air or even rolling down a runway, but instead carefully hauled from Anchorage ’s Merrill Field airport down the asphalt of the Glenn Highway to Big Lake.
A Boeing 727 approaches the runway at Merrill Field in Anchorage on February 26, 2013, for a tricky landing on a runway 2,000 feet shorter than what's usually required. A decade later, the plane, which was disassembled for transport from Anchorage to Big Lake in April 2023, is now slated to be converted into housing by Jon Kotwicki.
Back in 2013, the plane required special permission to land at Merrill Field because the airstrip there is only 4,000 feet long — 2,000 feet less than what is regularly required for that jet’s landing.
